Hey guys! Was doing some recon on CISSP study material. Here is my preliminary list of material:
Book category:
Shon Harris Book from McGraw Hill
Sybex Book
Syngress Book
For this category I'm leaning on Shon Harris. I haven't had issues with McGrawHill and the material they publish. What do you guys think? Any books I didn't mention?
Videos category:
CBT Nuggets
ITPro.TV
This I don't mind either way. I'm subscribed to both. So I'll check out which fits my needs. Thoughts and which ones you guys prefer
Practice Exams category:
Transcender (Have access through CBT Nuggets)
CCCure (never used but see them frequently mentioned)
Boson (would buy but Boson is great for the exams they do)
Which do you guys prefer for practice exams. I don't mind much either but would like decent exams. Don't mind paying.
Out of these categories I would love help and this would allow a better understand of where to start. Looked for the most recent pages and didn't see much that stuck out to me as the de facto material.

I would lean heavily on Eric Conrad and Offical CISSP Study guide, with AIO as a reference. I found Shon Harris too heavy at 1300 pages while Eric Conrad was straight to the point at 600+ pages. You can also check the Official Practice Test. (ISC)2 members (aka CISSPs) enjoy 50% off when buying Official CISSP books from Wiley, so get your friends to help.
And, belated happy birthday!
